[QUOTE=Shovelpass;37877659]Those ceramic inserts are just a layer, they rarely stop the rounds outright, their purpose is to remove a lot of energy from the round before it hits kevlar. FMJ rounds rip through kevlar alone but ceramic plates do a good job at weakening the round considerably. Ceramic plates themselves are composed of layers, they aren't a solid mass of material.
Even with the bullet shattering I am still willing to bet it would have gotten through if the case was being held in place.[/QUOTE]
No, I'm pretty sure SAPI plates are much more reliable than kevlar. Most LEO and the entirety of the US Military uses plate carriers with SAPI inserts exclusively and they've been proven to stop rounds.
